Best Wishes for a Happy Christmas
& a Healthy Prosperous New Year in 2023
WAITING FOR WINTER
When I was a lad in deep dark November
Wishing and hoping and watching for snow
Desperately yearning for ice in December
When once again I’d have somewhere to go
Snowflakes were falling the ice rink was calling
Shovels came out of the shed
Clearing a path from the front to the back
As the snow piled up over my head
The milkman, the bread man, the mailman, the trucks
Ploughing along through the snow
Snowmen and snowballs and hockey pucks
Off to the rink we would go
Along comes Christmas at the end of December
Everyone’s come out to play
Meeting my pals at the rink I remember
Nothing felt better than skating all day
Shopping for presents for Mom and Dad
Wondering what to get them
Mom got some Yardleys and Dad got Old Spice
I never will forget them
March brought the spring and the ice soon melted
Skating was done for the year
But the eternal snow just kept falling and falling
Oh when will the summer be here
